I have been think about this the last few days. I have a feeling Bowles or the D players meant to tank the Atlanta game just get BA or the Offense off their a$$ and get moving. They may have been tired of holding up the fort when the O hasn't helped and decided to tank the game.

This is the only explanation I have to who bad the D tanked last weekend when they have been do dominate the whole season.

I can't believe you could really believe that. You should also proof read before you post.

The defense and whole team just had a bad game. It happens to every team at least once a year. I expect it that to happen to Seattle this week. They are traveling east and coming off two highly charged division games.

Sounds right. Bowles probably thought it was a good idea to tank his audition for Arthur Blank because why would he want to look good to a prospective owner who might want to hire him.

This sounds suspiciously like sarcasm to me.

:biglaugh:

I heard the real conspiracy is by BA telling Stanton to suck after Palmer went down with a knee so they could cut Carson in the offseason & reward Drew with the identical contract they gave #3. I heard it after I played the Sam Acho show backwards...it's true ;)

19-3 and 19-3 = Cardinal UP AND TAKE IT LIKE A FAN!
It aint our D, or our QB, It is the lack of will to run the ball, for many years now.

what 11 attempts last week? SB had 10 attempts along with the Saints playoff blow out-
AE had 19 for 30 something yards in our last WIN!

It's not rocket science , when you lose the QB that is leading the League in 3'rd down conversion rate , and insert a "Back-Up" QB that is in danger of leading the League in 3 and outs . That can take the wind right out of the sails of a very good defense !

Get a clue Smel.

I'd say 8 out of 10 times the play of the QB & turnovers decide who wins in the NFL. It's 2014 not 1970

The biggest mistake with this post is that you went from thinking it to saying it out loud. :D

clue

and that my buckybird is a crying shame, And why seattle won the SB and 9ers been to the NFCC 3 times in a row.
Look at the box score, any teams from 1970 till now, It wasn't Wilson that destroyed Peytons record season - nor Eli that stopped Brady's undefeated season.

Even the 09 packers playoff pass fest - We had a 3 score lead running Beanie - and just passed like our hair was on fire, to a tie - and won in OT.

How many games ever had 11 run plays? I bet we have the most since Edge got set behind THT! It aint a clue it is hard evidence.

Conspiracy Theory #4

The Cardinals run D has been exposed. The blueprint is out.

This might actually be fact and worthy of discussion. Chris Simms brought it up, not to mention one of the commentators at the game.

Just spread them out and the big tackles don't have enough lateral quickness to cover the space. Which forces them to sub out to lesser players. Maybe this is where Shaughnessy is sorely needed.

Gimmie a break! Come on man! You're looking past the facts & what I said. The team the wins about 80% of the time is the team that wins the turnover battle & the play of the QB.

What lost us SB 43? Defense? Nuff said
Did we when that playoff game against the Pack? Nuff said
How did the GMen march down the field & win that game? Nuff said
How many yards did the Saints have on the ground winning a title? Nuff said
How bad was Peyton in the SB? Nuff said
Etc etc etc

Sure you have to try & run the ball sum but that isn't what ultimately wins & loses games, especially playoff games. It's generally how bad/well your QB plays & the turnover battle. Running the ball as ineffectively as the Cards do isn't a recipe to winning. 30 times for 85 yds & a terrible Stanton? Gimme a break

I was on my phone. This was all really in fun. No seriousness in my thread.
